HER2 Serum Test
I went for my Herceptin treatment today and had my first Serum HER2 test drawn. I took information from this website about the test to my oncologist's office and told her I wanted the test. My tumor marker tests have always been in the normal range (15.3) except for once when it was over 35. My last tumor marker was 15 and my PET/CT scan in July was clear. I guess I'll have to wait a week or so to get the result of the HER2 serum test.
